Does anyone have a source for replacement electric cords for our vintage machines? I'm looking for the "matching color" ones like blue and green or do I have to settle for black, brown, etc?

I've found the common black at many sources, then white and brown at some places. I've never found any green or blue electrical cords. I do wish I could cos I'd like to color match a couple of machines too.

The inner insulation seems of better quality than hardware store

That is a good question. I don't think anyone is making different colored power cords like that anymore. Thrift stores, Ebay, places like that are your best bet. Black, white and brown are about it for new stuff.
I wonder if it's possible to dye the white cords....

ink diluted in a bucket, immerse, check occasionally. Rinse and rub to test for colorfast?? art supply store? just gotta be careful of those which might effect dielectric (insulating) properties.
